Apple has spent years watching its future leak out in public. This time, the leak cuts deeper.<\/p>\n
On Christmas Eve, YouTuber Jon Prosser released a video claiming to show Apple\u2019s long-rumored foldable iPhone.<\/p>\n
The device, still unannounced, appears fully rendered in detailed 3D visuals. Prosser says Apple plans to launch it in fall 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.<\/p>\n
The timing matters. Apple sued Prosser earlier this year over leaked iOS 26 details. His latest video escalates that conflict.<\/p>\n
Instead of software, he revealed hardware Apple has never acknowledged.<\/p>\n
If accurate, the leak outlines Apple\u2019s most radical iPhone redesign in more than a decade.<\/p>\n
Prosser\u2019s renders show a book-style foldable phone. It looks wider than it is tall when folded. When closed, it resembles a thick iPhone. When open, it becomes tablet-like.<\/p>\n
The external display measures 5.5 inches.<\/p>\n
A hole-punch camera sits at the top. Inside, a 7.8-inch folding display fills the frame. Another hole-punch camera appears in the upper corner.<\/p>\n
The rear design includes two cameras on an elongated camera shelf. An LED flash sits apart. The layout mirrors Apple\u2019s recent minimalist camera direction.<\/p>\n
Prosser claims the phone measures 9mm thick when closed. Each half would be about 4.5mm. That would make it thinner than Apple\u2019s already slim iPhone Air.<\/p>\n
Those dimensions match several earlier supply-chain reports. They conflict with others. Apple has not confirmed any measurements.<\/p>\n
Crease question<\/p>\n
Foldable phones all share one flaw. The crease never fully disappears.<\/p>\n
Samsung has reduced it. Google has refined it. No company has erased it.<\/p>\n
Prosser says Apple has done what others could not. He claims the internal display shows no visible crease.<\/p>\n
He attributes that to a metal plate beneath the screen.<\/p>\n
The plate reportedly spreads bending stress evenly. A liquid-metal hinge supports the structure.<\/p>\n
That claim carries weight but also skepticism. OLED panels deform under repeated folding. Physics does not bend easily.<\/p>\n
The renders show a flawless screen. Renders, however, do not prove manufacturing success. Production hardware will decide the truth.<\/p>\n
Prosser says Apple will price the foldable iPhone between $2,000 and $2,500. That would place it among the most expensive smartphones ever sold.<\/p>\n
Apple plans limited color options. Black and white only. The company appears to favor control over customization.<\/p>\n
Power button returns<\/p>\n
The device reportedly drops Face ID.<\/p>\n
Touch ID returns in the power button. Apple may favor reliability over facial scanning on a folding frame.<\/p>\n
